The Revised Biomass Policy in India has introduced significant changes to promote the utilization of biomass for power generation. Here are the key modifications: Mandatory Co-Firing: The revised policy mandates that Thermal Power Plants (TPPs) must carry out 5% biomass co-firing starting from the fiscal year 2024-25. This obligation will further increase to 7% from the fiscal year 2025-26. Co-firing involves blending biomass pellets with coal during combustion, contributing to cleaner energy production. Initiatives to Ensure Availability: The government has taken several initiatives to ensure the availability and procurement [...]

The Calorific Value (GCV) of biomass pellets made from various materials. The GCV represents the amount of heat energy released by a unit mass of fuel during complete combustion. Here are some examples of biomass pellets and their approximate GCV values: Wood Pellets:Pine, Cedar, Spruce, Fir: GCV ≈ 4300-4500 kcal/kgHardwood (Xylosma, Catalpa, Elm): GCV ≈ 4500 kcal/kg Softwood (Poplar, Birch): GCV ≈ 4300 kcal/kg Crop Waste Pellets:Bean Stalk, Cotton Stalk, Peanut Shell: GCV ≈ 3800 kcal/kgCorn Stalk: GCV ≈ 3700 kcal/kgWheat Straw: GCV ≈ 3500 kcal/kgPotato Straw: GCV ≈ 3400 kcal/kg Rice Straw: GCV ≈ 3200 kcal/kg Other Bio [...]
